Another shot from the Miranda macro lens. £5 at a carboot sale.

Macro Week #8 – Day 1.
Day 2: Phaenicia sericata
Day 4: Not Flowers!
Very few Macro Week posts tend to be of anything other than flowers and to be honest, I am slowly running out of flowers and will probably start revisiting some in hopefully creative ways.
Anyway, this is a hoverfly which I was lucky enough to photograph with the eyes in focus. It seems like a difficult task but is very easy to achieve. I got the shot while the fly was being incredibly still in hovering. I also took around 20 photos and one happened to be in focus. It’s a shame the background isn’t very interesting.
